>Hello,


Ed, I would be very interested in hearing more about your project, 
and if possible seeing the results of your 'poll' of this group if it 
occurs off-list.  Out of interest, when you talk about distributed 
computing in bioinformatics do you mean GRID enabled resources (e.g. 
using Globus or similar GRID enabling software toolkits) or 
distributed computing like clusters and complex scheduling between 
UNIX machines (or PC's along the lines of a 'seti-like' :-) approach)?
